  2. Australia needs more environmentalists and less fossil fuels industry puppets. Australia should be building a local battery factory to support the massive battery storage they should be installing with wind and solar energy. Australia could be a leader in solar energy generation and storage.

  3. Bill Gates is disappointing. He has this global investment fund and he does so little actual good with all the money. After his divorce his ex-wife has made more of an impact with her money.

  4. The future is electric. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs and less maintenance cost. Legacy auto manufacturers are in trouble. They are too slow to adapt to the transition to electric vehicles. Adapt, change or go bankrupt. Nokia and Kodak were once leaders in their industries but were slow to adapt to new technology. Legacy auto dealers are a nightmare for legacy auto makers. They gouged customers trying to buy electric vehicles. Legacy auto dealers abused their customers by adding market price adjustments to gouge their customers for EVs They added pricey add ons and other costs to pump up the prices and their profits. Tesla has the right idea. Buy online. No hassle. No sitting in a show room for hours. No salesman BS. No crazy markups. No I have to see my manager BS. With Tesla you can buy a vehicle in 5 minutes or less online. The dealers have no one to blame but themselves. The dealers are dragging the legacy auto makers down with them. The problem with legacy auto makers having slow sales leads back to the legacy auto dealers. They try to talk people out of buying and EV an want to put them in a gasoline car. Many people hate going to legacy car dealerships. Many people call them stealer ships for a reason. New car, used car or going in for repairs you always walk out feeling cheated. People have no sympathy for dealers.

  5. Toyota and Honda are sleep walking into the future. They are looking to the past and projecting it forward. EV adoption is accelerating every year. Exponential not linear. The only limiting factor is batteries. The number of electric vehicles and types of vehicles and trucks is growing. Electric vehicles are just better. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs and amazing technology. Gasoline and diesel are OLD polluting technology. PHEVs still have a gasoline engine polluting the environment. Toyota and Honda will be late to the party. It will cost them market share, market value and future customers. There is a Climate Crisis. Young people will not buy petrol and diesel vehicles that add to the Climate Crisis.

  7. New homes should come with solar panels, a rain water collection system and an electric vehicle charger in the garage.
    15
  8. Lie, cheat and steal are all too common today. Spammers, scammers and phishing accounts are common and not prosecuted.

  9. Voting matters. Elections matter. Elect climate leaders and dump fossil fuels industry puppets.
    12
  10. Maybe Europe and the USA should require Chinese car companies to have a European or American partner to gain access to the market. That is what China did to all other auto makers. China should be treated the same way they treated companies coming into their market. China has huge import fees for Foreign auto makers. Europe and USA should do the same to Chinese auto makers.

  13. Australia needs to ditch fossil fuels, stop digging for coal and switch to mining lithium, nickel and other minerals. Join the rest of the world in moving from fossil fuels to the renewable energy future. Wind and solar energy combined with battery storage are the future of energy generation. ICE vehicle sales are declining. Electric vehicle sales are increasing. Australia has an opportunity to do more to fight Climate Change.

  18. Legacy automakers will continue to sell their polluting gas and diesel in countries with little or no environmental regulations. All legacy auto makers need to develop a plan to phase out all petrol and diesel vehicles and go all electric. Countries need to pass laws to ban sales of all new ICE vehicles after 2030.

  19. Nokia and Kodak were slow to adopt new technology. They lost market share as people adopted new technology. People that are slow to adapt will get left behind. There are many people that are slow to change. It will be to their detriment. Lower fuel prices and less maintenance costs will be enjoyed by the early adopters.

  21. Nissan was once a leader in electric vehicles. They sat on their lead and did not upgrade or improve their technology for years. It did not take long before other auto makers started producing competitive all electric vehicles. Nissan was too slow to respond. Only Toyota and Honda have been slower to switch to all electric vehicles. These companies need to look up Nokia and Kodak and how they declined by not keeping up with new technology. Japan needs to wake up and realize that there is a climate crisis.

  27. Solar panels and EV chargers should be standard in all new houses. All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone. Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier. Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided. Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open. Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter. Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.

  31. Japan is an island nation that relies on fossil fuels for electricity. They have supported the building of coal power plants around the world. Japan has not woke up to the fact that climate change is making weather events more extreme and they need to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Where are the environmentalists in Japan. There big corporations are dinosaurs still living in the past. They need to change or they will go extinct.

  36. If you want to save money and have inexpensive local transportation consider and ebike or escooter. Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed.

  44. BYD is concerned about the price wars and needing government subsidies to survive. Getting rid of some of the competition is their plan for survival. Maybe India, Europe and the USA should require Chinese car companies to have a European or American partner to gain access to the market. That is what China did to all other auto makers. China should be treated the same way they treated companies coming into their market. China has huge import fees for Foreign auto makers. Europe and USA should do the same to Chinese auto makers.

  48. People complain about high energy prices for fuel and utilities that will continue to go up every year. Get solar panels for your roof and power your AC and your electric car with free energy from the sun. Most home solar systems have a payback of 7 or 8 years. In Australia it should be even sooner. Getting a home blower door tested and air sealed is another great way to save money in the long run. Find those air leaks and seal them up. Too many people only look at the up front cost and miss out on long term savings. Thinking long term will put money in your pocket over time.
